Portrait photography for Kenton
- Included in the session: A conversation about the style you like before the camera comes out, unhurried direction during the sitting, then a private gallery and natural retouching on the portraits you choose; prints, frames and albums can be ordered afterwards.
- Where it happens: Sittings run in the Northwood studio, with controlled lighting and proper backdrops, or on location within about 20 miles when a place means more.
- Getting to the studio: Measured in a straight line, the studio on The Broadway in Northwood is about 4 miles from Kenton, and the drive is a little further.
- Booking: Call 07956 505383, send a WhatsApp message to the same number, or use the enquiry form on this page.
The session is guided throughout. Kaushik directs each pose in plain language, adjusts the angle of the face to the light, and moves from close portraits to wider frames, so your gallery has variety and nobody is left wondering what to do.
Once you are home, the pictures arrive in a private online gallery and the shortlist is yours to make, with nobody nudging you towards a bigger order. Edits stay subtle, faces stay recognisable, and the final files are prepared both for screens and for printing, with framed and canvas versions on offer.

I did a fabulous photoshoot with Kaushik and thoroughly enjoyed it! I was very nervous, but he made me feel at ease! I will hopefully return for another one at a later date!
Highly recommend!!! I came from Qatar and found this famous Photographer Kaushik Bathia who took my photographs! Absolutely incredible. He touched up on blemishes and really made the photo look so beautiful!
Kaushik was a great help and took some great photos for my partner and I. I would highly recommend for all your photography needs.

A safe pair of hands in Kenton
Early frames are shown on the back of the camera during the sitting, which helps most Kenton sitters relax once they see it working. Graduation portraits are photographed with a little ceremony and a lot of warmth, gown, cap and a proud smile.
The natural-light studio on The Broadway in Northwood is a daylight room, so window-lit portraits are possible without stepping outside or losing control of the background. Actor sittings are supplied uncropped and plain, the way casting expects, with only light retouching so you match the person who walks into the audition.

Good to know
Portrait Photographer in Kenton, FAQs
Not much at all. Rest well, bring a few outfit choices, and arrive with a relaxed, open frame of mind. Everything else, the lighting, the direction, the setting, is ours to handle. If wardrobe or looks are on your mind beforehand, simply ask and we will gladly help.
Certainly. Solo portraits can be mixed with a handful of pictures as a couple or a small group within the same sitting. Mention who is joining when you book, and the lighting and poses can be planned so each person looks their best.
Definitely. We photograph on location too, at home, in a park or somewhere that holds meaning for you. We find the natural light and setting that suit you best. Studio sessions give more control, but plenty of people prefer the relaxed feel of a place they know well. Nearby open spaces in Kenton include Woodcock Park, a green open space in Kenton.
The Northwood studio, about 4 miles from Kenton, has professional lighting and backdrops ranging from bright white and neutral grey to darker, richer tones. Lighting is arranged around the shape of your face and changed as the sitting goes on, giving both crisp and gentler results.
Yes, and sparingly. Only passing marks such as a stray hair or a spot are removed, studio or location, so skin texture, lines and character stay as they are. The result is a flattering, honest portrait that looks like you, not a heavily retouched picture.
Serving Kenton
A portrait photographer near Kenton
For portrait sitters, Kenton is a short trip from the studio in Northwood. It sits close to Wealdstone and Harrow, which we cover too. A Kenton portrait can happen outdoors near home or under the studio lights, and location sittings reach across Greater London.
Kenton is a diverse suburb that straddles Harrow and Brent, with Kenton Road marking the boundary between the two boroughs. Kenton station is on the Bakerloo line and the London Overground Lioness line, and via the interchange at Northwick Park the Metropolitan line runs on to Northwood Hills, two minutes' walk from the studio. When a session suits an outdoor setting, Woodcock Park near Kenton is one option.

Kenton's most dramatic outdoor setting lies just over the border in neighbouring Kingsbury: Fryent Country Park, 103 hectares of traditional Middlesex countryside rising to 86 metres at Barn Hill, crossed by the Capital Ring footpath. From the higher ground there is open sky and rolling grass, which gives a portrait a sense of space that is rare this close to London, and hedgerows and meadow edges provide softer backgrounds when the light is strong. Closer to home, Woodcock Park is Kenton's main green space, where restoration work along the Wealdstone Brook has created a more natural, waterside character that suits a relaxed, unposed portrait. Grass and meadow can be damp well into the morning, so sensible shoes and a bag for the smarter pair make sense, and a jacket helps on the exposed ground at Barn Hill. For the gentlest light, aim for the hour or two before sunset. The studio is the better choice when you want a clean backdrop, a polished look or certainty about the weather. It is about 4 miles from Kenton, and Northwick Park station, linked to Kenton station by an official out-of-station interchange, is on the Metropolitan line, which also serves Northwood Hills, two minutes' walk from the studio.
